    Now onto your question: 🙂

    Welding is an occupation in demand so here’s a short, practical roadmap to help you get an Australian employer sponsor and work in Australia.

    1. Which ANZSCO jobs match welding (so employers can nominate you)

    • Metal Fabricator – ANZSCO 322311.
    • Pressure Welder – ANZSCO 322312.
    • Welder (First Class) – ANZSCO 322313.
    • Fitter-Welder – ANZSCO 323213.

    These welding roles appear on the Department of Home Affairs skilled-occupation listings and are eligible for employer sponsorship pathways.

    2. Skills assessment (must-do before many employer nominations)

    Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) is the assessing authority for most welding/fabrication ANZSCOs. You will normally need a positive migration skills assessment from TRA (they run technical interviews and practical checks via approved RTOs).

    Typical Australian qualification referenced for welding is Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade (MEM31922) but TRA will assess your overseas training and experience against Australian standards. Check TRA guidance for the exact pathway.

    3. Main employer-sponsored visa routes (what employers use to sponsor you)

    Subclass 482 Skills in Demand (temporary employer-sponsored visa) – common first step.

    Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (provisional) – for regional employers.

    Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (permanent) – direct-entry or via transition from a temporary sponsored visa.

    4. English, experience and documents to prepare

    You usually must meet Home Affairs English requirements (or qualify for an exemption). Check the Subclass 482 English page for details.

    Common checklist to have ready: passport, up-to-date Australia-style resume, employer reference letters, payslips, trade certificates / training records, TRA skills-assessment application or outcome, English test result (if needed).

    5. Where to find employer sponsors and jobs (apply right away)

    482jobs.com (our site) – start here as every job is verified as offering Australia Visa sponsorship. To search trades roles: https://482jobs.com/job-category/trades-services/

    Then check Seek (https://seek.com.au) and Indeed (https://indeed.com.au) – filter with keywords like “visa sponsorship” or “482” or “482 visa”.

    Upload your resume to 482jobs (https://482jobs.com/candidates/submit-resume/) and use our Australia Resume tips to help get noticed: https://482jobs.com/australia-resume-tips-craft-winning-resume/

    6. Quick next steps for you (do these now)

    • Decide which ANZSCO best matches your work (see list above).
    • Start a TRA skills-assessment application or at least read the TRA candidate guides.
    • Prepare an Australia-style resume and employer references and upload to 482jobs plus Seek/Indeed.
    • If English test required, book your test early.

    I hope this helps. Feel free to reach out with more details anytime. Best of luck on your journey to Australia!

    Regards
